Looking for a Friendship, Novice Crew or Voluntary work position
I just finished my STCW training at STC-SA in Cape Town, South Africa. I'm looking for boats I can join to gain some experience and mileage. My goal is to, in time, work my way up to skipper and/or engineer. The experience I have is from almost 3 years back, when I worked in Greece, and we regularly took clients out on cruises around Corfu Island. For the past 7 years I worked in the tourism and hospitality industry, lately mostly focussing on adventure guiding, such as white water rafting and mountain guiding. In my free time I love volunteering at places around the world and in South Africa, as I love living at different places for periods of time, learning about their culture and way of life, as well as gaining some practical skills. I am good at carpentry and masonry work, and I will be completing a rigging contract in Qatar until the end of the year. I am advertising now for the start of next year, 2021.
I'm a hard worker, and long and physical hours are nothing new to me. My passion is working with people, but also being surrounded by nature, be it the ocean, mountains or country side. I am also passionate about environmental conservation, and would love to learn as much as possible about it and not only conserving the earth, but also cleaning it in the process.
I love carpentry and did a hand craft guitar making course, and also built my own tiny house. I also have interest in mechanics and engines, but have no current experience with working on them. It would be ideal for me to join a boat where I can obtain knowledge on every aspect of sailing.
